Outline of Final Research Achievements

Redox flow batteries (RFBs) are promising for use as large-scale energy storage. In this study, novel electrolyte systems were developed to increase the energy density of FRBs. For vanadium RFBs, it was found that electrolyte systems using vanadyl 1,3-propane disulfate (PDSV) is stable at high (50oC) and low (-5oC) temperatures. The newly developed electrolytes gave 1.5 times higher energy density than the conventional electrolytes. For Ti-Mn RFBs, it was found that methane sulfonic acid (MSA) is effective for stabilizing the MnO2 particles in the catholyte and for increasing the energy density.
